The Newton Nomadic Theater’s newest production, “The Compass Rose” by Ronan Noone will open this Friday, Sept 25 at 7:30 in the home of Chris Steele and Emily Prenner in Waban.
Each performance will feature a real world Newton couple celebrating their (fictional) wedding anniversary. We’ve just completed the schedule of wedding couples (below). We’ve got a great cast of Newton faces making their acting debuts. Be sure to check out the wedding photos (click on their names below) of the folks that have already sent them to us.
We’ll be limiting the audience at most performances to a bit smaller than previous shows and we expect its going to be a very popular show so get your tickets soon. Click here for tickets.

I don’t know where the other weddings took place, but the photo of our opening night’s anniversary couple (Scott and Nancy Wilson) was taken in a backyard on Newtonville Ave in Newtonville.
… and Gail Spector’s was at the former Mills Falls Restaurant overlooking the Upper Falls.
I love the wedding pictures and can’t wait as usual.
It will be interesting to see how you stage this.
Hellzapoppin comes to mind.

what beautiful pictures and obviously such loving couples! Cannot wait!!
@Amy Sangiolo – … and here’s one of your colleague Jay Harney and his lovely wife Martha.
@Jerry – thanks for sharing. To think – I’ve known them all of these years and I am only now seeing their wedding picture! Beautiful!!!
What a treat to see all of these wedding photographs. They are lovely. The dresses are gorgeous. The settings are perfectly chosen.
What a fabulous night of theater. I’m not a theater guy (or maybe I am now) but this was unlike any theater experience I’ve ever had.
Congrats to Scott and Nancy on their anniversary!!

Here’s one more wedding photo of Village14’s own Greg Reibman and Cindy Bailin and this one comes with a good story.
Cindy and Greg were living in Dallas at the time. They were planning to get married and they vowed that whenever one of their friends from Boston came out to visit them in Dallas they’d get married. Sometime later, the Boston based band The Del Fuegos came to do a show in Dallas. They knew the Del Fuego crew from Greg’s days as a rock music critic. Greg was working at Dallas’s Dealey Plaza (yes, that one). Greg & Cindy headed across the plaza and got married in the registrar’s office across the plaza.
That night the Del Fuego’s show in Dallas spontaneously morphed into the Greg and Cindy wedding party.
Great story Greg!
Maybe we’ll see if we can round up the Del Fuego’s for a reunion show at your upcoming anniversary party at the Oct 16 performance of The Compass Rose.
Here’s the last wedding photo, of Harry Lohr & Judy Karp. They’ll be our anniversary couple at Historic Newton’s Durant-Kenrick House on Sat Oct 24.
Don’t miss this show! It’s unlike anything you’ve seen and audiences are loving it.
